  1. BWF Roundtable: 2009 Survivor Series

    Leave a Comment

    World Heavyweight Champion Undertaker vs. Big Show vs. Chris Jericho (Triple Threat Match):

    JT: Jericho over Undertaker & Big Show

    Drowgoddess: Undertaker wins. Either Jericho or Show will cost the other the win, and they’ll continue to fall apart as a tag team. Taker’s not losing anything at this point.

    ThinkSoJoE: I think we all know who’s prying that belt from the cold, dead hands of The Undertaker – and it’s not Chris Jericho or The Big Show.  Somebody had a feud over the World Heavyweight Championship with The Undertaker that never had a proper finish, and he just turned heel.  Expect ‘Taker to walk out with the gold in tact.

    Rey Mysterio vs. Batista

    JT: Batista eats Mysterio then gets injured

    Drowgoddess: Batista wins. ‘Nuff said.

    ThinkSoJoE: I don’t think it’s so much a question of who is going to win, but more of if this match is going to live up to the buildup.  Batista made Rey sign a hold-harmless agreement – Since I’m pretty confident The Animal is taking this one, he’d better leave Mysterio half dead in the center of the ring.

    Team Kingston (Kofi Kingston, MVP, Mark Henry, R-Truth, & Christian) vs. Team Orton (Randy Orton, Cody Rhodes, Ted DiBiase Jr. , CM Punk, & William Regal) :Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match:

    JT: Team Orton over Team Kingston

    Drowgoddess: This is a tough call. I really don’t care about the teams as a whole, but I’m a tremendous fan of both Kofi Kingston and CM Punk. I’m essentially chosing between them. I’ll go with Team Kofi to win, as Punk has not been the same since his World title loss to Undertaker. Neither he nor the team of which he is a part will win here.

    ThinkSoJoE: Randy Orton’s got a reputation to uphold.  He’s been the sole survivor a few times at the Survivor Series, so I’m kind of leaning towards that happening here.  Orton will stand alone and still manage to win.

    Team Morrison (John Morrison, Matt Hardy, Evan Bourne, Shelton Benjamin, & Finlay) vs. Team Miz (The Miz, Drew McIntyre, Sheamus, Dolph Ziggler, & Jack Swagger) : Traditional Survivor Series Elimination Tag Team Match

    JT: Team Morrison over Team Miz

    Drowgoddess: Why is this ppv sounding so much like the “Twilight” movies? Team Edward, Team Jacob, Team This, Team That. At least these guys don’t sparkle in sunlight. With the possible exception of Sheamus. Like anyone’s going to tell him! In any case, despite the level of fandom I have for both Morrison and Bourne, I’m going with Team Miz to win here. Sheamus and McIntyre are absolute BEASTS, Swagger and Ziggler can play the technical game, and The Miz is simply awesome.

    ThinkSoJoE: Miz beat Morrison at Bragging Rights – Morrison should get his revenge here.  The way I see it, Morrison can pin The Miz here, and then maybe they run into – and eliminate – each other at the Royal Rumble setting up a WrestleMania match.  For what it’s worth, I also see Team Miz imploding and costing themselves the match.

    WWE Champion John Cena vs. Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels (Triple Threat Match)

    JT: Cena over D-X, yeah I said it.

    Drowgoddess: *YAWN* I so don’t care. Honestly, I’m not being smarky, I sincerely don’t care the slightest little bit about this match or who wins it. Considering what I predicted in the World title 3-way above, HBK steals a win from underneath HHH, and the DX split takes front and center.

    ThinkSoJoE: I’m going to get heat for this, I know it – but Shawn Michaels is the best professional wrestler in the world today.  It’s been years since HBK had a title run, and I’d love to see it happen here, but since this match was just randomly thrown together by two guys who turn left for a living and a leprechaun, I’m fully expecting Cena to win.

    Team Mickie (Mickie James, Eve Torres, Kelly Kelly, Melina, & Gail Kim) vs. Team Michelle (Michelle McCool, Jillian Hall, Beth Phoenix, Alicia Fox, & Layla) :Traditional Survivor Series Tag Team Elimination Match

    JT: F@^& the Divas Match

    Drowgoddess: Another yawner for me, since I have no interest in nailing any of these women. I love Beth Phoenix, and she’s so much better than this, but I’m choosing Team Mickie. Mickie, Gail Kim, and, to a lesser extent, Melina, can actually wrestle. Plus, I live for the day that Michelle McCool gets hit by an 18-wheeler hauling toxic waste. Don’t mistake that for heel heat. She’s not that good. It’s “get off my tv and out of my world” heat.

    ThinkSoJoE: So wait, let me see if I’ve got this right.  Kelly Kelly, Eve Torres, Alicia Fox, and Layla all got into this match, but Natalya, one of the few women on the roster who can actually wrestle, didn’t?  Who books this crap?  My prediction is half the audience gets up and goes to use the restroom during this one.

    I have no idea of what’s supposed to be going on this week on SmackDown, though I’m sure it will involve the Unified Tag Team Champions Jeri-Show, and the World Heavyweight Champion The Undertaker as they get set for their triple threat match at Survivor Series.  So screw it, let’s dive right in!

  3. SmackDown results/thoughts for 11/6/09

    Leave a Comment

    I was sick yesterday and I’m just now sitting down to watch SmackDown. So we’re gonna do things a little differently this week – I’m going to watch the show, and I’ll post my thoughts and the match results afterwards. Ready? Here we go.

    WWE SmackDown Episode 533: “I Walk Alone”

    (more…)

  4. WWE Bragging Rights results

    Leave a Comment

    This is going to be a quick post, since I haven’t actually seen most of the PPV.  We’re looking for somebody to cover the WWE Pay-Per-View events starting with Survivor Series next month, so if you’re interested, let us know on Twitter or Facebook or Myspace or wherever.

    Anyways…

    The Miz def. John Morrison

    RAW leads 1-0

    Michelle McCool, Beth Phoenix, and Natalya def. Melina, Gail Kim, and Kelly Kelly

    We’re now tied at 1

    The Undertaker def. Batista, Rey Mysterio, & CM Punk to retain the World Heavyweight Championship

    After the match, Batista destroyed Rey Mysterio

    Team SmackDown def. Team RAW

    The Big Show turned on RAW, chokeslamming Kofi Kingston and allowing Jericho to pick up the win.

    John Cena def. Randy Orton 6 – 5

    This match was far better than I’d expected – at least, what I saw of it.  Orton tried everything to keep Cena down, including trying to blow him up in the pyro, but Cena wouldn’t stay down.  At one point, the doctors superglued a cut on Cena’s forehead to close up the wound.  Somewhere, Sabu is laughing his ass off.  In any event, with the score tied at 5, Cena locked in the STF and got the tapout with just five seconds remaining.  From what I understand, the clock kept running despite the fact that there should have been a 30 second rest period as there was through the duration of the rest of the match.  Ah well.  Guess I’ll be seeing Cena in Buffalo tomorrow night after all.

    That’s it for tonight, folks.  Join us tomorrow as our Empress of Impact, Drowgoddess, becomes our Reina of RAW!  I’ll have photos and thoughts from the HSBC Arena sometime after the event, so stay tuned for that as well.



  6. SmackDown recap and thoughts 10/9/09

    Leave a Comment

    I watched SmackDown, but I was eating at the time and didn’t feel like actually reviewing the show.  So, to keep up with things this week, I’m going to do a recap/thoughts column on the show.  Hope you enjoy it!

    In ring segment: Teddy Long says that John Cena is more than welcome to join SmackDown if he should lose at Bragging Rights.  CM Punk comes out and demands a submission match against The Undertaker for the World Heavyweight Championship with Scott Armstrong as the referee and Long at ringside at the PPV.  Long says he can’t do that.  Before he gets a chance to announce his plans, Mr. McMahon steals his thunder and announces that Long was planning a fatal four way pitting The Undertaker against CM Punk, Batista, and Rey Mysterio for the World Heavyweight Championship at Bragging Rights.

    Match #1:  Rey Mysterio def. Chris Jericho following a 619.

    Word Up: This week’s word is Eve, because she’s next.

    Match #2:  Michelle McCool def. Eve.

    Backstage segment: Teddy Long enters his office to find Vickie Guerrero and Eric Escobar.  Vickie says that The Undertaker is going to be furious and that Punk should’ve gotten a one on one rematch.

    Match #3:  John Morrison def. Dolph Ziggler in an Intercontinental Championship match.  Ziggler set a chair at ringside, but Maria took it and sat on it before he could use it, leading Morrison to use the distraction to pick up the victory.

    Backstage segment: Dolph tells Maria that he sees bright lights in his professional future, but he doesn’t see her in his personal future.

    Match #4:  Drew McIntyre & Kane def. R-Truth & Matt Hardy. For the love of not seeing your underwear every week, Matt, please go back to regular pants!

    Backstage segment: Rey Mysterio and Batista agree that the best man should win at Bragging Rights.

    Match #5:  CM Punk def. Batista via count out.

    My thoughts: If the rumors are true that Punk is in the WWE doghouse for not dressing in a suit when it doesn’t fit his gimmick, that’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.  The Undertaker does NOT need the World Heavyweight Championship.  He’s a legend, and a shoe-in for the Hall of Fame the moment he retires.  Batista gets injured every time he wins a major championship, and Mysterio hasn’t done much of anything lately to indicate that he’d have a successful run with the title.

    Dolph Ziggler either needs to win the title, or move on from trying to win it.  I like Ziggler, I like Morrison, I don’t mind them feuding, but it should’ve been Ziggler who picked up the title from Rey Mysterio in the first place.

    And Matt Hardy.  I’m begging you Matt, go back to pants.  The tights look terrible on you, they’re just not your style.  And yes, I will say this every week in my SmackDown reviews.

  8. WWE Superstars w/ HIAC Predictions

    Leave a Comment

    What’s up, Peeps?!  The HIAC ppv is approaching and I like the concept.  The last Superstars has come and gone and my review is late today… like it normally is.  I try to be fashonably late.

    Match 1:  Shad w/ JTG and Eve vs Tyson Kidd w/ David Hart Smith and Natalya

    As Todd Grisham said, Shad will try to rep his hood in this match.  Shad gets the win in this relatively long match by Superstars standards.  Pretty nice finish sees Shad catching Tyson Kidds springboard into a reverse Russian Leg Sweep.

    Match 2:  Shaemus vs Tyler Reks

    How has Tyler Reks not been released yet?  This guy can’t even walk properly!  Shaemus gets the win with a boot to the face.

    Main Event:  The Miz vs Kofi Kingston

    I want The Miz to be US champ soon!  He’s awesome!!!  Kofi is good too I guess.  He picks up the win in this one as he hits the Trouble in Paradise.

    Hell in a Cell Predictions

    Intercontinental Title Match:  John Morrison defeats Dolph Ziggler

    United States Championship Triple Threat Match:  Jack Swagger defeats The Miz and Kofi Kingston

    Unified Tag Title Match:  JeriShow defeats Batista and Rey Mysterio

    Tag Team HIAC Match:  DX defeats Legacy

    Divas Title Match:  Mickie James defeats Alicia Fox

    World Heavyweight Title HIAC Match:  Undertaker defeats CM Punk

    WWE Title HIAC Match:  John Cena defeats Randy Orton

     

  9. ECW on SyFy 9/29/09

    Tiffany was apparently in a car accident, so while she’s recovering, William Regal is in charge.  He’s been ordered not to make any decisions involving the ECW Championship, including Number One Contenders matches.  He’s made a change to tonight’s main event however.  It will now be Christian vs. Zack Ryder, Vladimir Kozlov, Ezekiel Jackson, and William Regal in a 4 on 1 handicapped match.

    Abraham Washington Show with guest, Intercontinental Champion John Morrison

    And you guys wonder why I don’t watch this show anymore.  BTW, Morrison was on “Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader” earlier tonight.  He lost on the last question, but the show sent $2500 in his name to the Make A Wish Foundation anyway.  Morrison takes shots at The Miz and Dolph Ziggler, until Ziggler comes out and takes a seat next to him on the couch.  After some bad Dolph Lundgren jokes, we reach the punchline of John Morrison calling Ziggler “Mr. Ziggles.”  Even Morrison and Ziggler couldn’t save this segment.

    Backstage, Regal is on the phone defending his decision to make the match tonight.  Ryder comes in and says that he’s got it on his own, but Regal says that the board of directors has made the match Regal, Kozlov, Jackson, and Ryder vs. Christian, Yoshi Tatsu, Tommy Dreamer, and Goldust.  Ryder questions Regal’s management abilities.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    Shelton Benjamin def. Paul Burchill

    Sheamus assaulted Shelton Benjamin from behind when he was on his way to the ring.  The referee asked him if he still wanted to wrestle, and he said yes.  It’s all Burchill through this match – until Benjamin dropped him with Pay Dirt for the victory.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    We waste a bunch of time talking about RAW’s main event for Hell In A Cell.  Then Christian gives a pep talk to his team.

    Christian, Tommy Dreamer, Goldust, & Yoshi Tatsu def. William Regal, Ezekiel Jackson, Vladimir Kozlov, & Zack Ryder

    Tatsu pinned Regal for the win.

  10. SmackDown results 9/18/09

    1 Comment

    Teddy Long shows up in his limo and looks paranoid after what he did to The Undertaker this past Sunday at Breaking Point.  He surrounds himself with security and asks them to stick close to him.

    The SmackDown video plays, and we’re on our way!

    Batista is here.  Great.  He chose to be on SmackDown, and he can’t wait to get started.

    BREAK THE WALLS DOWN!

    Chris Jericho is here to save this segment.  He says Batista makes him sick.  He calls him an injury prone loser like Edge.  He tells Batista that Jericho is the true face of SmackDown, and that everybody knows it.  A lot has changed since Batista’s been gone, and he’s been gone a long time, and Jericho is now the man on this show.  Batista says to be the man, you’ve gotta beat the man.  He says they’ll have a chance to catch up, because tonight, Jericho has a match against Batista.  The Animal promptly hits a spinebuster on Jericho.

    Jericho asks Big Show backstage where he was.  Big Show says that Jericho wanted to do it by himself.  Jericho says he’ll do it by himself and tells Show to wait backstage.  Show tells him to relax.

    Still to come, an interview with Scott Armstrong.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    Dolph Ziggler is sitting in on commentary, and the WWE Intercontinental Champion, John Morrison makes his way to the ring for action.  His opponent will be Mike Knox, who gives us a lesson on Restless Leg Syndrome.

    John Morrison def. Mike Knox

    SmackDown always has the best wrestling of the week.  This match, no exception.  Morrison picks up the win with the Starship Pain.

    Morrison takes the mic after the match and he says he hopes Dolph had a good time playing footsie with Todd Grisham (who is awesome on the new SmackDown 10th Anniversary DVD).  He says does the Mr. Ziggles bit again, and it’s way less funny this week.  The fans aren’t getting behind it as much, either.

    Todd Grisham and JR show us footage from Breaking Point.  Meaning, if you paid for it, you should be pissed off because they just showed the only important part of the whole show on free television.  Anyways, Josh Matthews asks Armstrong why he did what he did.  He says he answered to somebody in a position much higher than the one he’s at.  He was asked to do something he knew was wrong, and something he’s not proud of.  He makes no excuses, he did what he had to do to keep his job.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    Batista vs. Chris Jericho will be our main event tonight, but for now, here’s somebody that Batista’s allegedly slept with, Melina!  Her opponent, the WWE Women’s Champion, Michelle McCool, limps to the ring.

    Michelle McCool def. Melina

    Justin Roberts did not announce this as a Triple Threat.  Anyhow, Michelle is aggressive in this one, but it’s not enough as Melina picks up the victory with a rolling powerbomb.

    Teddy Long is backstage with his security force when Mr. McMahon walks in.  The Chairman excuses the security team and he wonders again where his picture was.  He enjoyed the surprise of Batista coming to SmackDown.  He doesn’t seem so impressed with what he came up with for Breaking Point.  He wants to know why T-Lo double crossed The Undertaker.  McMahon wants an explanation, and it’d better be the right one.  In fact, he owes the WWE Universe an answer.  He sends Long to the ring and tells him he’ll be waiting back in his office.  He asks if Long has any idea what The Undertaker is going to do to him.  Long heads to the ring.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    Theodore Long is flanked by security as he heads to the ring to offer up an explanation as to why he screwed The Undertaker at Breaking Point.  Long welcomes Batista back to SmackDown.  He then admits that all of this was pre-planned.  It was pre-planned to prevent The Undertaker from becoming the World Heavyweight Champion.  Long isn’t going to say that he’s proud of what he did, because he’s not.  He’s not going to say that he’s not afraid of The Undertaker, because he is.  He knows that The Undertaker may show up here sometime tonight, which is why he’s surrounded himself with security.  He’s not the only one involved, Scott Armstrong and CM Punk were in on it too.  Long knows how he feels about this conspiracy, and he’d like to tell us why he did what he did.  You see, he’s got a family to take care of.  Times are tough, and he can’t let them down.  He’s too old to learn to do something new, so therefore, he’d like to apologize for his actions.  The crowd boos.  He says he’d like to apologize to the WWE Universe, and he’d like to apologize to each and every one of the fans.  He’d especially like to apologize to The Undertaker.  One last thing.  He hopes that The Undertaker can find it in his heart to forgive him.  Long leaves with his security in tow.

    Backstage, the security team hears noises as they walk Long to his limo.  Long gets in and tells the drive he’s ready to go.  The doors lock, the privacy window rolls down, and The Undertaker says “Buckle up, Teddy” as smoke and lightning fill the back of the limo.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK> – if you’re in the Buffalo area, MyNetwork TV is giving away tickets to Monday Night RAW in a “watch and win” sweepstakes.  Yes, it’s possible to win – I won last week!

    CM Punk, the World Heavyweight Champion is here, and he has a microphone.  He says, “I told you so.”  Punk says he’s the only man who ever made The Undertaker tap out.  Which isn’t true.  Watch the Angle/Undertaker match on the SmackDown DVD.  Punk admits he’s been preaching, because the people need a good preaching to.  He then goes on a tirade about drugs.  He calls everybody a liar, and says he’s a prophet, the choice of a new generation, a champion everybody can be proud of, the first and only straight edge World Heavyweight Champion in history.  If you’re not Straight Edge like Punk, that means he’s better than you.

    Still to come, Batista vs. Chris Jericho!

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    The Great Khali vs. Kane is still to come, but right now, it’s Cryme Tyme.  Did I fall asleep and miss the good matches on SmackDown and wake up on Monday?  Their opponents are from Canada, which happens to be where SmackDown is, so they’re getting cheered – they’re the Hart Dynasty!

    The Hart Dynasty vs. Cryme Tyme

    I swear if the Harts lose tonight, I’m done with WWE.  Luckily, Kidd hit the Blockbuster on JTG and picked up the victory, so it hasn’t come to that.

    Melina is looking trashy as ever backstage when she walks into the Divas locker room, which is plastered with pictures of Dolph Ziggler helping Michelle McCool last week.  Maria says she’s sure Dolph has a logical explanation and wonders why Melina wouldn’t come to her with this instead of plastering pictures all over the wall.  Melina tries to explain that she didn’t do it, but Maria walks away.

    Still to come, Batista vs. Jericho, but up next, Kane vs. Khali.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    The Great Khali is out first for this next abomination of a professional wrestling match.  Kane follows, and we’re underway.

    Kane vs. The Great Khali

    Kane knocked Khali out with a chair.

    After the bell, Kane used the steel steps to completely destroy Khali’s knee.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    WWE Smack of the Week: Drew McIntyre destroying R-Truth over the last few weeks.

    Charlie Haas is on non-entrance jobber duty.  R-Truth’s music plays, but Drew McIntyre comes out instead.  He says R-Truth had an accident in the backstage area and can’t compete.  He declare Haas the winner by forfeit.  Haas shakes his hand, and then gets attacked and dropped with a double armed DDT.

    <COMMERCIAL BREAK>

    Batista def. Chris Jericho

    Jericho went for a Codebreaker but was caught and hit with a Batista Bomb for the win.

    Backstage, Big Show says Batista got lucky, and that when he gets in the ring with him next week, his luck will run out.

    Sorry for the lack of detail, guys, I got caught up in something else that I didn’t think would take as long as it has.  I’m hitting up an independent show tomorrow night, so I’ll be here to give you thoughts and pictures from that.  See you then!
